On Friday 25 July 2008 Hepburn Wind is launching its Share Offer at 12:00 in Daylesford Town Hall, Victoria. Professor John Thwaites, Chairman og Monash Sustainability Institute, will speak at the launch.

Hepburn Wind is a community co-operative that will own and operate the Hepburn Community Wind Park - Australia's first community owned wind farm.

The Wind park will consist of two turbines located on Leonards Hill approximately 10 km south of Daylesford. The output of renewable energy from the two turbines will be sufficient to power over 2.300 homes - effectively all of Daylesford and Hepburn Springs. The resulting reduction in carbon emissions will be equivalent to removing approximately 2,800 cars from the road.
